    EZ 9mm trigger sticks

    Grip safety. Oh wow, never thought about that. I do know it's there and I'll take it out again sometime soon and pay attention to it. Thanks for the response.

    EZ 9mm trigger sticks

    I bought an EZ 9mm pistol on the 4th of August. I've had it out three times and the trigger will occasionally stick or jam after firing. Pull trigger gun goes bang, then pull the trigger to fire again and the trigger will go about half way back and stop, no bang. release the trigger to reset...

    Being ignorant on stuff

    I have a 1905 made in roughly 41 or 42. It's a 4th, but I have no idea what makes it a 4th. Curious about 1 through 3 also. Any body know the particulars?

    Probably pre 10, lend lease

    What I meant about all original was that all the parts were original. Cylinder, grip panels. The right grip panel was serially numbered to the gun as well as the cylinder. It has been modified and it is not considered a collectable by me. Just a shooter. The finish is original far as I can...

    Probably pre 10, lend lease

    Thanks all for the replies. I believe it is a totally original gun. The cylinder and frame numbers match and are stamped with the same little tiny numbers . The cylinder was bored out for the .38 spec. cartridge. I took it out and shot it this morning with some RP lead bullet 38 spec. stuff...

    Probably pre 10, lend lease

    I'm considering buying a 5", S&W revolver, with some oddities. The barrel is stamped 38s&w, but it's stamped 38 sp on the frame near the trigger on the left . The s&w logo is stamped on the right frame rear and "Made in USA"is stamped on the right side frame front of the trigger. It is fixed...

    Anyone own a model 422

    I have a 422-6" that gets shot infrequently. I've had it for about five years now, bought it at the crossroads of the west show in Phoenix for $250.00. It does shoot well, but I have several .22 pistols and they have to take turns being shot.

    Wanted - 9mm Snubby - Are Taurus Revolvers Really That Bad?

    I can only speak of my experience with Taurus, and it hasn't been good. I bought a new 941,.22mag. blue steel 4 in. I first had to send it back as it would usually only fire 4 to 6 of the eight loaded cylinders. Numerous light strikes and very hard trigger. The forcing cone was troublesome...

    model 59 rear sight

    I have a 59, blued, police issue, made in the very early 70's I guess by the ser #. It is adjustable for windage but not for elevation. As shown above elevation adjustables are available.

    An old lawman and his Model 10:

    I was a rookie in 71 also but was issued a Colt official police. After carrying the revolver for 18-1/2 years they went to Glocks. I never did like it. I was allowed to buy my old service revolver and still have it and shoot it regularly. It feels good even if it's a Colt. Glad to know...

    What scope or red dot are you using?

    On my 15-22 I put a UTG red and green dot sight. No magnification, but it's just mainly a .22 plinker. Works perfectly for my purposes. I cost me about forty dollars and has been worth every cent. I put another one on an ar15 in .223 but found it unsatisfactory due to the lack of magnification.

    48-4

    I also have a 4" 48, not a pinned one but prior to lock. I shoot CCI 40 grn stuff in it, and Win. 40 grn. also with no sticking in the cylinder. I've had it about a year and none of those troubles. I also shoot the .22WRF made by CCI and it shoots just as well as the regular .22 mag ammo...

    Should I have any reservations in buying an ex-police weapon?

    I've two police turn ins. One is my own service revolver that I was issued in Nov. of 71 and carried it for eighteen and a half years when they went to Glocks. We were offered the opportunity to buy our issue guns for $65.00. Mine is a Colt official police with a lot of holster wear and the...

    M48-2(really?)

    I have a 48-4, 4". Love it. I looked for 5 years before finding it. I think not being a pinned gun is what makes mine a dash 4. Not sure. Mine shoots really well. Also shoot the CCI WRF in it and it shoots fantastically well with it. You might try it if you find some. I have three K...

    S&W .22 Magnum Revolver?

    I too like the K frame 48. I have the 4" barrel on mine. I hunted for about five years before I found it at a gunshow last April. I paid eight hundred for it. Used, not abused, pretty. I really do like shooting it as it does well. I use both .22mag, and .22WRF in it. The WRF shoots every...

    Model 48 Thoughts

    I finally found a 4 inch after looking for about five years. Bought it at a gunshow, used but very pretty. Paid 800.00 for it and I am happy with this. It shoots really well. I have shot the CCI WRF round in it also and it shoots this actually better than the standard .22mag rounds I've...

    What WheelGun Would You Carry if You Were Made a Deputy TODAY??

    In 1971 on my department I was issued a Colt official police in .38 spec.. Carried it for the first 18-1/2 years then they went to the Glock 17 for the street cops and the 19 for detective types. If I had to carry a revolver again I would carry my very generic mod. 19-4, 4" circa 1980 and not...

    How to Carry a 8 3/8 inch barrel revolver?

    I use a DiamondD chest holster. You can look them up on your computer. Really a good way to carry a large handgun. Ride your horse, walk, fly the place, ride the 4 wheeler. It's always out of the way and extremely accessable at all times.
